I am applying for this scholarship so I can continue my further education. I'm currently in my senior year(class of 2019) pursuing in the field of Health Science as Medical Assisting. If I get this scholarship I would use this scholarship to help pay for my college because, coming from low-income family it is tough decision , If I want to go to college or not because of financial difficulty. Also, I will be the first generation going college from my family. I believe that I can be qualified for this scholarship.

I am an early college student, and on my senior year of high school. I am a trying my best to apply right now to any school scholarships for me as much as possible. Being Filipino, there’s not much scholarships for me out me. I am hoping I get noticed and get this scholarship, so my parents don’t have to worry about money. It is sad that in today’s colleges/university’s cost so much. I wish everyone who’s applying for scholarships luck. God bless.

I applied for this scholarship because as a first generation student of a low-income family, I would like to be able to go through college without stressing my parents out due to any financial obstacles that may appear. I know that they have a little money saved up for my education but I believe that they should save it more for their health as they get older. This scholarship would help my parents out a lot.

I am grateful for the opportunity to apply for these scholarships. The tuition, room, board and other fees associated with college are a bit overwhelming to say the least. My family and I would be extremely grateful for any help we can get to help pay some of these expenses. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

apparently since one of the requirement is to be a citizen of the United states, which i am not, so it means that i cannot apply for it.
